What is the NBN Co New Development Fee?

If you’re in a new development and not already connected to the NBN a $300 NBN Co New Development Charge may apply.

Effective 1 April 2016, the $300 New Development Fee is charged for all nbn™ broadband connections (FTTP, FTTB, FTTN and Fixed Wireless) in the following circumstances:

The first connection at a premises (unit/townhouse/house) in a newly developed area i.e. a suburb or multi dwelling units with no pre-existing telecommunications infrastructure.

The first connection(s) at a premises in an establish area in the rare instance that a developer has increased the number of dwellings on the same plot of land e.g. demolished a single house and built a block of units.

Once the NDF has been charged at an address, it will not be charged again for subsequent connections, provided the number of dwellings at that address has not increased.

If this fee applies to you our Customer Service Staff will contact you before placing the order on NBN and give you the opportunity to cancel your order.
